Description

The capacitive,
dielectric liquid based inclinometers NA2-05, NA2-10, NA3-30,
NA4-45 and NA4-70 contain new sensor electronics. These are
made up of a highly stable, laser-trimmed signal conditioner with
electronic compensation for temperature drift, highly stable
supply voltage regulation circuitry and low-pass filtering of the
measurement signal to eliminate unwanted noise.

The capacitive
measurement principle guarantees a very stable, linear
relationship between the inclination being measured and the
normalised output signal.

The sensor
electronics require minimal power and, together with the
capacitive primary transformer, are characterised by low errors,
high signal-to-noise ratio and high long-term stability.

Contrary to measuring
inclinations using accelerometers, this measurement principle
enables a linear relationship between the inclination to be
measured and the output signal, independent of the constant of
gravity at the place of measurement, i.e. Independently of where
the measurement is taking place, whether in Europe, Australia, on
Mount Everest or the Moon.

Application

The NA2, NA3 and NA4 can be
used for measurements requiring small and light devices,
replacability, measurement of relatively large inclinations and a
normalised, analogue voltage output signal.

Measurements of
inclinations in measuring instruments and inspection equipment,
in water, land and air vehicles, in automation and safety
technology, on cranes and lifting equipment, on robots, in the
manufacture of scientific equipment, in medicine and
telecommunication as well as navigation systems are typical
examples.
